It is one of the biggest questions remaining about what happened the night George Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin—who was it heard screaming for help on that 911 call? Zimmerman claims he was the one screaming. But now two forensic experts, using different techniques, both say the voice heard in the 911 call was not Zimmerman, reports the Orlando Sentinel.

One consultant used biometric voice analysis on the call, using computers to compare recordings of Zimmerman's voice and the 911 call. The software gave the voices a 48% match, well below the 90% needed to be the same. "As a result of that, you can say with reasonable scientific certainty that it's not Zimmerman," he says. Another expert who relies on audio enhancement and human analysis came to the same conclusion. "I believe that's Trayvon Martin in the background, without a doubt," says the second analyst, noting the tone of the person's voice. "That's a young man screaming."

USING LOGIC -- IF Zimmerman wanted to shoot and kill Martin, he would have done it standing up. -- COMMON SENSE -- That Zimmerman who had a gun (and witnesses reported) was fighting with Martin on the ground, means Zimmerman DID NOT want to shoot Martin, or Zimmerman was SURPRISED by the sudden attack by Martin. -- USING LOGIC -- Nobody with a gun who wanted to deliberately kill someone, would roll around (and fight) on the ground with the victim, before he deliberately shot and killed him. -- LOGIC -- Only someone with racial bias would come to ANY different conclusion. -------- REALLY

A. Who was being pursued? B. Who's dead now? C. Who was holding the gun that was used in the shooting? Martin was the one being pursued, not Zimmerman. The recordings say it all....why is this even a question?

Somewhere out there George is stalking the streets with a cocked and loaded 9mm in his sweaty, meaty paw, scanning for "suspicious" (aka black) characters to chase down and execute. The Police have no problem with this.
